When arriving in a foreign country, one always feels a bit lost, and has the need, in a short time, to make aquaintances. Contact associations were created to help newcomers in getting to know the country and making friends in the process. Usually being made up of benevolent and humanitarian individuals, these associations do their utmost in order to help new arrivals, and their work is of extreme importance in supporting and animating the foreign communities of Lisbon.
